First session of Yoga in the Park

Wow!! I was pleasantly surprised by the turnout at Yoga in the Park this morning. I stepped outside at 7AM, and it was 51 and pretty windy. I said to myself " I hope 5-6 people show up today". I honestly was not prepared for the 20 some people that arrived. It was a humbling experience, to say the least. I have never taught that many people before, and at the beginning, I was quite nervous. I slowly became more confident as the minutes ticked by. We had a beautiful space to work with, all the trees were blooming with leaves and the dandelions made a nice colorful addition to the green floor we had.
Next week in Mother's Day, and I plan to focus on that. It will be a very nurturing class, and at the beginning, I want you to think of your mother, regardless of your relationship with her. It was because of your mother that you are here today. That means different things to different people, but for next week, we will focus on the Yin, the female energy.
I hope that you will come to Newell Park next Saturday, May 8 at 8:30AM. Until then, practice kindness in your actions and words, and let your Inner Light shine.
Namaste,
Sonja
